Great option for gluten free. Best gluten free chicken I've had and safe cooking environment

Joanna Fay

Awesome kid friendly eats in Rehoboth. Pasta is made in-house and everything is freshly prepared. Lots of options for both kids and adults as well as great gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options. Plenty of seating for large groups. Best food quality bang for your buck in the area!

6/2025 This time we ordered bowls for pickup, the ponzu glass noodles are so good, we also got spinach, chipotle chicken, balsamic mushrooms, garlic broccoli, and the chimichurri sauce. We loved it so much that we got it 2 days in a row! Dedicated gluten free for anyone who can’t have gluten! 5/2025 Employees were super friendly! We had smoothies and cheesecake, both were great. Will be back to try the bowls!

We've been going to the Bethany Blues on Route 1 near Lewes for several years while on our annual Rehoboth Beach trip. The food and service is always excellent, but I'm writing this review to give them the credit they deserve for being amazing with gluten restrictions/celiac. Every single time, when I mention my gluten free diet, a manager is sent to our table and is very knowledgeable about their gluten free options. I have been gluten free since 2008 and eat out multiple times a week so I can attest that this place is definitely one of the best in handling this restriction. While most restaurants are familiar with GF diets these days, not many make a point to train their management on it and have such a consistent plan in place (they also said they now offer a gluten free bun which is great). I had the pulled pork with cheesy creamed corn and a chopped salad and it was delicious and a generous portion. Thanks, Bethany Blues, for being so accommodating!

Busy but only a 5 minute wait. Waitress (Kayla) was very attentive! When she saw you were low on a drink, she brought another before you had time to ask for one. Delicious food! Best burger I ever had!! Gluten free menu available.

Stephanie Carl

10/10! We went there for my son’s birthday and Chloe & Joan couldn’t have been any kinder or attentive. The food was delicious and fresh, the coffee hit the spot, too! I appreciated the gluten free options as well. Thanks for making his birthday breakfast so special. 🩷

Not a great place if you have celiac disease. We have been visiting this restaurant for a while and didn't have issues until recently. The last visit I was sick afterwards from what I assume was cross contamination. We tried again today stressing that I have celiac disease. After making some modifications to the meal (which was marked as a gluten free option) and being assured everything would be ok as they have a celiac button that alerts the kitchen I was brought a burger that had a fried onion topping and the burger itself was fried (they do not have a dedicated gluten free fryer). I sent the meal back telling the server it wasn't safe after he kept telling me it was. He came back and confirmed it was not safe. When the manager came over to check on us 15 minutes later he offered to make me a salad with no protein to make up for it since that's faster. Anyway long story short not all the staff is trained on cross contamination or food allergies for that matter. Eat at your own risk...

Wonderful late lunch! Food was great as usual. They offer gluten free pizza in 2 sizes. Also had the Curry Chicken salad and it was excellent!

A great place to stop on our 3 hour drive back to Jersey from DC. Food came out right away. My husband had the meatloaf and said it was the best meatloaf he's ever had. I had the Philly cheesesteak on a gluten free bun (which btw thank you soo much for having gluten free buns!!!) Alexis was very nice. She checked on us regularly. Will come back on our next road trip soon!

Angela M Ferguson

Stopped in for lunch with clients and tried their queso burger with a gluten free bun. Delicious!

Charles Ferguson

Leah Kaliszewski

Great little place with gluten free Mac and Cheese options. The rest of the menu looked great, but I was there to try the mac and cheese and it didn't disappoint!

We had lunch outside on the patio with our small pug. Food was excellent. I appreciated the gluten free bun. Can't wait to go back.

Jared Bennett

Food was delicious and reasonable for the beach! Loved how they are very great with allergies and are gluten free for celiac’s. I am very appreciative with there service when asking several questions about there procedures that prevent cross-contamination. 10/10 will be back again!

Shelby Langan

The only thing I would change about this place are the hours. It would be amazing if their lunch menu was a dinner option in milton and I know they would bring in loads of business. For some reason it’s always Sunday when I get the urge to go here for breakfast. That said - the food is fantastic and the price is even better. They have done such a great job with the interior. It’s a place I have gone to sit and work and have coffee, but also a place my family loves to go to. It has a cozy feel. The people there are always wonderful. They have just enough gluten free choices that my diet doesn’t create an issue going here. I hope this place is around forever.

Fran Walls

Our granddaughter has a gluten allergy and was happy to see that the Smyrna Diner has a gluten free menu. The chicken salad sandwich looked very good and she said it tasted as good as it looked!

Devon Seibert-Bailey

Salt Air was absolutely delicious, even my 2 year old oved his meal. They were also very aware of gluten issues (I have celiac disease), the manager even came over to talk to me about how the kitchen will be careful about cross contamination. Highly recommend!

Best service I've ever had at a shake shack. Everyone was super friendly and considerate. Also, a convenient short stop if you're traveling north south long haul. They have gluten-free vegan and vegetarian options and are easy to pick through for other food restrictions

I visited Cottage Cafe in Bethany Beach after a recommendation from a foodie friend, but unfortunately, it didn’t quite live up to the hype for me. The decor is definitely charming—true to its name, it has a cozy cottage feel that’s warm and inviting. That said, the food was just okay. The menu felt a bit limited and uninspired, and the cocktails didn’t really stand out. I appreciated that they had a separate gluten-free menu, but the options on it were pretty minimal. On a positive note, our waitress was lovely—friendly, attentive, and helpful throughout the meal. Overall, it wasn’t a bad experience, just not one that would bring me back again.

We had dinner at Shorebreak Lodge. I actually used a different GF app to find out more about it. Upon entering and asking about a GF menu I was told items that were GF were listed and that our server would let me know what ones that were not they could modify. Our server was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. She even told me there was a dedicated fryer. I got the deviled eggs and scallops with acorn squash. After eating she let me know that they also had a chocolate flourless tort for desert. While I had not planned on desert I got it to share. It did not disappoint.

J Spross

Celiac here-delicious crispy chicken with sweet chili sauce! Delicious chocolate volcano flourless cake. Everything but the pasta dishes are GF. Knowledgeable staff. Great drinks! Casual and warm atmosphere. Will visit again. Highly recommend. No flour in the fryer only cornstarch on the chicken.

I can only rate Eden 5 stars! The experience is simply stunning. The flavor profiles designed by the chef are a true treat to the senses, perfection is an understatement. And for people with allergies, especially gluten, can dine without worry. A must on any Delaware Beach vacation.

Andrew Hewlett

Decent options on a separate GF menu. Good food and drinks. Knowledgeable staff.

Vegan / gluten-free option l. Fun atmosphere

We chose Harry’s Savoy Grill for my mom’s 70th birthday dinner, and sadly, it was a letdown. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere felt off. The stares we received upon walking in made it clear that African Americans dining there might not be the norm — very strange and uncomfortable. It gave off “rally” vibes that left us feeling out of place. The noise level was unbearable, thanks to a table next to us that was clearly over-served. The staff didn’t seem to address it, even though it was obvious everyone was ready for them to leave. The food was mediocre at best. The only vegan option was a hollowed-out squash with under-seasoned beans spilling over the plate — bland and unappetizing. No gluten-free pasta options were available, and the potatoes tasted like a bowl of oil. For a restaurant positioned as upscale, the food and overall experience were disappointing. The only bright spot was being able to spend time with my family and celebrate my mom’s milestone, but I won’t be back. Definitely not worth the hype — next time, I’ll be paying closer attention to the reviews.
